"This business cares. My wife and I hired Sustainergy to update the attic insulation and bathroom ventilation in our 1960's home. We were very impressed by the professionalism and energy that Lindsey showed at the initial site visit, as well as the timeliness, optimism, and tidiness of the crew that performed the work. The crew put down floor coverings on our hardwood and throughout their work areas, and did a great job of cleaning up each day. Sustainergy was very responsive to questions and was easy to schedule. Their business practice as an employee-owned cooperative also impressed me. I used to be a remodeling professional - everything Sustainergy did reminded me of best practices for customer service and good business operations. We won't hesitate to hire them for future updates to our home, and I'm pleased to recommend Sustainergy to anyone looking to increase the energy efficiency of their home."

"Went very smoothly. Everyone I was in contact with was professional. Reasonably priced. The service tech was also very respectful of me being immunocompromised regarding COVID-19, which I greatly appreciated. I plan to use them when it comes time for a tune-up."

"Our Home Warranty Company (Old Republic) sent Onesource to our home to fix an AC problem.   They were the 2nd company sent out, the first one charged me a 60 dollar service call fee and left in 10 minutes after saying he cleaned some dust out of the fly wheel.   Turned out, when Onesource came out our A-coil was frozen over and that is what was causing the vibration noise, not the "dusty" fly wheel.       Since we had paid the service call fee just a few days before, Old Republic paid for the Onesource call.   They're due to return in the spring to add R-22 to the unit because they found it was only low in pressure.    We'll let you know how that visit goes."

"Have used this company since 2004 for all HVAC needs. We had them install our new furnace and AC, and continue to use Comfort Solutions for two check-ups each year, one in the spring for the AC, and one in the fall to check the furnace and humidifier. The maintenance contract is a great deal, and includes a scheduling service, where the office calls to set up the appointments for the check-ups. Technicians are always punctual, and careful of my home and property (wear booties, lock up behind themselves after going outside to check the AC unit, and so on). We have not had to call for emergency service, but maintaining the service contract annually makes you a priority call if you do have a problem.

Energy Efficiency Auditing questions, answered by experts

Homeowners can often access federal tax credits, such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which covers a percentage of installation costs. Many states and utilities offer additional rebates, grants, or performance-based incentives. These programs can significantly lower your upfront investment. Check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) or contact your local energy office for current offers.

Yes, Tesla Powerwalls are worth the upfront costs, as you can recoup your investment within six to eight years. Plus, they provide peace of mind that you'll have power during a power outage, and, depending on the system you install, you can become energy-independent. While they may be more expensive than other solar power systems, they offer higher battery capacity and lifespan.

The difference between an energy auditor and a home inspector is primarily in the purpose of the inspection. The energy auditor conducts tests in your home to determine the energy efficiency levels in areas like windows, insulation, and doorways. The auditor then makes recommendations for ways to improve a home’s energy efficiency

A home inspector examines various structures of your home to determine that everything is up to code and gauge the condition of features like the roof, foundation, HVAC, and electrical. The home inspector reports on the overall home and makes repair recommendations.

Yes, mini-split or ductless AC systems add value to a home and do not devalue it. They are an attractive feature for potential buyers, especially in older homes without existing ductwork, as they provide a practical air conditioning solution without the significant expense and hassle of installing traditional ducts. Ductless systems also eliminate issues associated with conventional ductwork, such as noise and the potential for pests. Furthermore, homeowners value energy-efficient solutions, and mini-splits offer high efficiency for both heating and cooling, plus zoned temperature control. This leads to lower energy consumption and reduced electric bills, which is a major selling point.

Homeowners may qualify for an HVAC tax credit if they install an ENERGY STAR®-certified HVAC system that exceeds the energy efficiency minimum standards:

  • Split-System AC: 16 SEER2

  • Packaged AC: 15.2 SEER2 and 11.5 EER2

  • Ducted Split Heat Pump: 15.2 SEER2, 7.8 HSPF2, and 11.7 EER2 

  • Packaged Heat Pump: 15.2 SEER2, 7.2 HSPF2, and 10.6 EER2

  • Mini-Split System: 16 SEER2, 9 HSPF2, and 12 EER2

You can claim up to 30% of the cost of the job, subject to maximums.
